xETFs, a New York-based ETF issuer that makes differentiated investment opportunities accessible to investors, is today launching the xETFs Korea AI Semiconductor ETF (KSMH).

KSMH is an actively managed ETF designed to provide targeted exposure to Korea’s semiconductor industry, including the country’s industry-leading AI chipmakers, as well as other firms across the full Korean AI semiconductor ecosystem.

“Every AI model runs on memory, and some of the world’s most advanced memory is made in Korea,” said Johnny Wu, Co-founder and CEO of xETFs. “Despite this, the Korean AI semiconductor trade was previously only available through three imperfect options: broad Korean equity funds which cap the amount of exposure to the leading chipmakers, semiconductor-focused ETFs which tend to be dominated by U.S. and Taiwanese exposures, and buying Korean shares directly, which is challenging for an individual investor, as many Korean companies do not have a direct U.S. listing.”

“With KSMH, investors now have a single-ticker solution to access this innovative and growing space which we believe is still in the early stages of its growth cycle,” added Wu.

KSMH is designed to invest in 10 – 25 Korean companies. The two biggest companies in the world for memory, SK Hynix and Samsung, will initially represent approximately 40% of the portfolio.

Outside of the memory leaders, the fund will also provide exposure to leading Korean companies in Materials & Equipment, Manufacturing & Packaging, Substrates & Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), and Testing.

“AI is driving a new memory cycle, and Korea is home to critical leading memory companies,” continued Wu. “It is also home to a core group of suppliers well-positioned to participate in this ongoing upcycle. KSMH is designed to capture the opportunities found up and down the full Korean semiconductor value chain.”

Read the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus carefully before investing.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision.

Single Country Risk. Because the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in a specific country and region, the Fund is subject to greater risks of adverse developments in that country, region and/or the surrounding regions than a fund that is more broadly diversified geographically. Political, social or economic disruptions in the country or region, even in countries in which the Fund is not invested, may adversely affect the value of investments held by the Fund.

Semiconductor Industry Risk. Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition of companies in the semiconductor industry. The Fund is subject to the risk that companies that are in the semiconductor industry may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events.

An investment in the fund involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value, and may trade at prices above or below the ETF’s net asset value (NAV), and are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. ETFs are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying strategy of the fund. These risks also include value stocks risk, market disruption and geopolitical risk, inflation risk, issuer risk, small and mid cap companies risk, other investment companies or real estate investment trust risk, focus risk, concentration policy risk, market price risk, small fund risk, and authorized participant concentration risk. For a complete description of the fund’s principal investment risks, please refer to the prospectus.
